When climbing, safety is our number one concern. We teach proper rope fundamentals, and only approved staff are allowed to belay a climber. Kids are taught skills in a way that will sharpen their thinking abilities and boost their confidence, giving them a more well-rounded personality.
Let us not forget the spiritual side of climbing. No, I'm not talking about becoming one with the rock in some alternate spiritual plane. I am talking about the Rock of our Salvation. Just as we are anchored in the rock when we climb, so must we be anchored in the Rock when we climb life's mountain – only then will we be able to maneuver through the trials of this life.
